===Eugene Alvin Villar===
Eugene Alvin Villar is from the Philippines and has been mapping in OSM as [https://osm.org/user/seav/ seav] since 2007. Eugene has grown up loving maps and cartography (one of his favorite childhood books was a Grolier world atlas) and when he [https://www.vaes9.com/posts/osm_does_the_philippines learned that OSM was a crowdsourced project to map the ''whole'' world], he was immediately hooked. Aside from mapping, Eugene has also worked to collaborate with other Filipinos in building the local mapping community in the Philippines (which is one of the most active in Asia) by planning events, giving presentations, facilitating workshops, and organizing local conferences. He has been a member of the Foundation since 2016 and a member of the [[Local Chapters and Communities Working Group]] (LCCWG) which he chaired from 2019 until his election in 2020.
 
Eugene currently works as a senior software engineer for a [https://getmagic.com/ Silicon Valley-based startup] and before he got elected worked part-time doing OSM mapping for Kaart, a Bronze [[Corporate Members|Corporate Member]] of the Foundation.

===Jean-Marc LiotierMateusz Konieczny ===
''Biography pending''.
Jean-Marc Liotier took a wrong turn on his bicycle in 2009 on an African track and stumbled upon Openstreetmap - a great excuse to indulge his vice of staring at orbital imagery. He is based in Paris, where he spent the last 20 years managing information systems projects for large telcos - but that's really just a way to finance his mapping addiction.
 
Jean-Marc is currently on a full-time salaried position at SFR, a subsidiary of Altice Europe, where he is an employee representative, member of the UNSa COM union. His ownership of bicycles has also led to rumors that he might be a card-carrying member of the cycling lobby.
